Yes, I do make large carnatic flutes up to D bass which is a really large flute (about 36″ long). My carnatic flute catalog lists only a few commonly used sizes. If you need a size not listed there, please send me an email at var name = “info”; var domain = “anubodh.com”; document.write(”); document.write(name + ‘@’ + domain + ”); // –> and I will get back to you with details promptly. The tukkadas which are compositions played towards the end of carnatic concerts are generally played on a big bass flute, many a times with transposition of notes. For example, you can play Sindhu Bhairavi on a D# flute(2½ katta) and then use a G# bass(5½ katta) flute using the fingering of panchamam as Sa to take up the melody from one octave below.
